Welcome to one of the most charming, inviting, and beautifully restored log cabins in the enchanting community of Palo Colorado Canyon! Steeped in history dating back to the early settlers and homesteaders of the early 1900s, when the cabin was originally built, this gorgeous home has been lovingly restored and improved by its current owners, who purchased it in the early 1990s.
They raised the cabin and set it on a well-engineered concrete foundation, rebuilt the floors, improved the electrical system, completely rebuilt the roof and roof framing, and drilled a high-producing well. All of the logs were hand sanded, stained, and sealed to restore their original luster and beauty. All of this work was done with plans, engineering, and permits, which adds tremendous value.
The original cabin had a bedroom on the main level, but the walls were removed to create a large, open living space with a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The lower level has a separate entrance and could easily be connected to the main level to expand the living space or create a separate bedroom area. An old carriage house is currently used as a workshop.
The property is almost 2.5 acres with hundreds of huge, gorgeous redwood trees! Palo Colorado Creek runs through the lower portion of the land, which feels like a private mountain park in the forest. This idyllic cabin in the woods is peaceful, serene, and inviting, yet only minutes from town. Palo Colorado Road is just 11 miles south of Carmel along scenic Highway 1, and the cabin is only 1.4 miles from the highway. Easy to reach, but hard to leave!
